corners of chairs and other articles is yellow

THERE is a society of young ladies in Creston.
Iowa. known as the IS. n E." which letters
stand for Speak No Evil The cardinal prin-
ciple of the organization is to discourage the

without first procuring a larger stick He saws
the reptile Will measure : inches between the
eyes. feet inches in circumference. and that

ABOUT as mean a man as often comes to light
is the New York undertaken who took advan-
tage of poor woman last week. Her child
died and the undertaken agreed to bury il in
Calvary Cemetery for Sl2. and charged her 81 so
for a burial permit. She was too poor even TO
90 to the cemetery with her little ones coffin.
and she learned day or two later that the I'm.
dertaker had buried the child in the Potters
Field, and that burial permits are issued free by
the city. She will sue the undertaken and it is
to be hoped that he viii be made to smart for
his meanneSs.
SWANS viii not sing before they die and
spiders will not cure earache. Whalebone is not
bone at all, and Jerusalem artichokes never saw
Jerusalem. Ceopatra's Needles were not b1,ilt
by Cleopatra, and Pompey's Pillar has nothing
to do with Pompey. The Bank of England
holds no colossal fortunes in trust for undiscoy-
cred heirs in America. Alfred the Great did not
found oxford University. and Bishop Hattie
never prosecuted the poor; in fact this much
illuminated character is said to have been a
very excellent and kind hearted old gentleman
and the rats that swan the Rhine and scaled
his castle walls are like the false facts thar
over1m every page of history and every nook
and Granny of our daily lives.
